Elmat, <<If inflation destroys, ergo, deflation constructs. Why then the fear of deflation?>>
I am afraid not. Deflation also destroys most and benefits the few, else the 1929 Great Depression would be called 1929 Fantastic Construction ;0)
One should not put one's feet in icy cold water nor boiling hot water, they will hurt, but differently.
... as to <<Countries that could inflate their prices, of the labor, the products, the services, and the gvernment were considered rich>> ...
